As a qualified coach and experienced mentor, with lived experience of eating disorders as a parent, I work with parents \/ family members whose loved one has developed an eating disorder or has a problematic relationship with food. I help them to develop the skills necessary to support their relative, and themselves, during a very difficult time.<\/p>\n

Nothing can prepare parents \/ family members for the shock of a loved one developing an eating disorder and its impact on that person, as well as on the parents and wider family\u2019s physical and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n

The impact on each person is individual and the ability to respond \/ react to the situation varies greatly. No two experiences are the same for parents \/ wider family members or their loved one nor does any one person have all the answers \u2013 and I include myself in that!<\/p>\n

Helping You to Help Your Loved One<\/h5>\n

I work with parents \/ family members to help them develop the skills they need, using proven tools and techniques, to support their loved one.\u00a0 I support them in identifying the strengths that they can bring to the recovery process. Developing these skills can help accelerate the recovery journey.<\/p>\n

I also work with parents whose children have developed problematic eating or are suffering from eating distress. I am passionate about helping those parents foster (and role model) a healthy relationship with food, weight and body image for their kids.\u00a0In addition, parents proactively looking after their own well-being highlights the importance of self-care to their loved one.<\/p>\n

I work both 1:1 and also run online group programmes for parents.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
